North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *q̇_HapE
Meaning: hat, cap
Notes: The correspondences are basically regular, except for metathesis in PWC (*q̇_HapE > *pHaq̇_E > *pIVq̇́IV), and some assimilative developments: secondary labialisation *q̇:- > *q̇:ʷ- in PAnd (under influence of -p-) and a complex development in PTs. (probably *q̇_HapE > *q̇_HaṗE (assimilation) > *qebV- (the normal expected development in PTs) > *ʁebV- (assimilation in voicing)). Most languages, however, preserve the original structure with the first glottalized and the second voiceless stop. Comparison of WC and EC (Lak., Darg.) data see Shagirov 1977, 2, 41.
Some EC languages have strange metathesized forms which seem to be later WC loans (?) (Kryz. bäḳä 'a high cap', Bezht. baʔi 'hat, cap'). Immediate loans from Adygh languages are Svan. paq̇ʷ 'hat, cap', Balk. bokka 'children's cap'.
Roots of the type *KAPV / *PAKV meaning 'cap' are widely spread in Eurasia, cf. forms quoted by Bouda (1960, 202) : Koryak penkel, Alyut. pankal, Shugn. pakōl 'cap, hat'; cf. also several late European forms: Lat. (late) cappa (whence Pol. kapa > Rus. капа), Slav. *čepьсь, Lit. kepùrē 'cap' (see Vasmer 2,183; 4,333). However, some phonetic features of the Caucasian material (glottalisation and pharyngealisation in the root, regular correspondences between languages) suggest that it still should be reconstructed for PNC.

Word: чепе́ц,
Near etymology: род. п. чепца́, укр. чепе́ць, блр. чепе́ц, др.-русск. чепьць, болг. чепи́ци мн. "башмаки", сербохорв. чѐпац "женский чепец", словен. čе̑рǝс, чеш., слвц. čерес, польск. сzерiес, в.-луж. čе̌рс, н.-луж. сорс, серс.
Further etymology: Праслав. *čерьсь родственно лит. kepùrė "шапка", лтш. cępure -- то же; далее пытаются сближать с греч. σκέπας "покров, оболочка", σκέπη "покров", σκεπάζω, σκεπάω "покрываю" (Бернекер (I, 143 и сл.), Гуйер (LF 42, 23), М. -- Э. (I, 373), Томсен (SА 4, 319)). Прежние попытки сближения со ср.-лат. сарра "вид головного убора" устарели (Бернекер, там же; Ильинский, РФВ 74, 124 и сл.), но собственное сравнение Ильинского с греч. κοπίς "нож", σκέπαρνον "топор" весьма сомнительно. Миклошич (Мi. ЕW 32), Брюкнер (75) видят ступень чередования с čерьсь в польск. сzарkа "шапка". Следует отклонить попытку произведения слова чепьць из польск., вопреки Соболевскому (РФВ 70, 98 и сл.); см. Преобр., Труды I, 63.
